Murdoch Press Sinks to New Depths of Depravity, Hacking the Phones of Murdered School Girls
Politics / Mainstream Media Jul 06, 2011 - 12:22 PM GMTThere is a cancerous growth at the heart of British journalism and it emanates out of the Murdoch Press / News International that as unfolding revelations show permeates the whole print mainstream press.
The phone hacking scandal started with celebrities such as Jude Law and Sienna Miller suing for invasion of privacy has now expanded to involve some 50 police officers investigating the growing list of allegations centred around the hacking of the mobiles of potentially tens of thousands of individuals from celebrities to police officers to murdered school girls and their parents.
News of the World Allegations Include:
- Milly Dowler - The 13 year old abducted and murdered school girl's mobile phone was hacked during the police investigation, messages left were deleted (to make room for new messages) which gave false hope to her parents that she was still alive.
- Metropolitan Police- Major cases investigating officers placed under News of the World surveillance
- Metropolitan Police - Officers bribed for information
- 7/7 Terror attack victims family phones hacked
- Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman - Soham murdered school girls Parents phones hacked
- Politician Phones Hacked
The culture at the News of the World for many years if not decades was a case of anything goes, with acts of criminality justified in the name of getting a story. Now, ironically those at the centre of the storm have asked for their privacy be respected something they never considered when hacking the phones of parents of abducted school girls.
Political implications are that both major parties have always fought to be on the right side of the Murdoch Press empire, under the false impression that the Murdoch Press helps them win elections when the truth is more that the Murdoch press is a self publicity machine that bets on the winning horse during election campaigns. A revolving door exists between the Murdoch press and government as illustrated by Andy Coulson, former editor of the News of the World as David Cameron's top aide at Number 10 until forced to resign as a consequence of the phone hacking scandal.
The News of the World is not an isolated case but as we will find out this level of criminality is rife in the tabloid press and probably also extends to the broad sheets as they have adopted ever more desperate measures to fight for a diminishing reader base as a consequence of the FREE Internet Press against which they cannot compete.
At the end of the day the blame lies with you the reader, for you choose to finance the deprave activities of the likes of the News of the World by buying their papers and services such as the Sky Satellite service. The blame lies with you the advertiser for you choose to have you name associated with alleged criminals that seek to profit from the murder of school girls.
Rupert Murdoch cry's crocodile tears by calling the allegations 'deplorable' as News Corp fights to contain the potential loss of revenues.
What You can Do ?
- Boycott Murdoch Press in totality.
- Cancel your Sky Subscription
- Email and Tweet advertisers
- Hold your corrupt politicians to account for their close relationships with the media empires.
- Boycott the mainstream press, support the Free Independant Media
- Put Pressure on your MP to prevent Murdoch Press taking full control of BSkyB
- Businesses boycott services that seek to profit from invasion of privacy such as Getty Images
What comes Next ?
Revelations will follow form the police investigation that many other newspapers were also involved in similar alleged criminal activities as the News of the World.
